Should men and women be the same/equal?

Question

I can’t think of anything more annoying than being equal/the same to women. It’s our differences that attract us.  The modern brainwashing is that we need to be the same. Where is the fun in that?

There is a difference between being equal and being the same. There seems to be a lot of confusion about the difference which is clearly an intentional result of feminism and wokeness.

Equality is subjective, sameness is objective.

Men and women are not the same. But since equality is a subjective measure, it's debatable whether or not they are equal. It depends on how you weight their differences on the equality scale.

For example, if being able to have a baby gets a very high value score on your scale, it may be difficult to name a characteristic of men that would offset that so that they would be considered equally valuable.

On the other hand, if you value the ability to excel at physically competitive activities, men may have the advantage.

So whether or not they are equal is purely subjective based on the weight you put on their different characteristics.

My own view is that they are equal in the eyes of nature even if not in the eyes of society. Women bear and take primary responsibility for raising the children and men provide for and protect the women and children. It takes both to have a strong family unit which is the most important function of the human species since without it the species could not survive.

Somehow we have this weird society where women can't be considered equal unless they are seen as being the same as men. There isn't any value placed on their ability to bear and raise children. So you have this really bizarre adaptation where women today are trying to prove that they are "as good as men." They've really allowed themselves to be demeaned into that position instead of being proud of and standing up for the equality they earned by bearing and raising children and the important role that plays in a healthy family a healthy society and the survival of the human species.

Here's the thing no matter who you are male or female we have different strengths we have different wisdom we have different everything... It will never be equal that way but what will be equal is the way that I treat her as my equal.. and
Beyond... Cuz the parts that I don't have she might have and vice versa but as an equalizer with respect love kindness the same way that I would want her to treat me...

I don't need to be in a competition with her about anything because that's not what equal means..

There is no brainwash there's just ignorance there's only people can see one side of things and that's even more ignorant and controlling and poor poor baby...

And it really doesn't matter if it's a woman or a man I will treat them the way I want to be treated I'm no better than they are and they're no better than me and if they are right on more power to them maybe I can learn something then but I'm not going to whine and cry about something that can never be in a physical world but in the real world of who we are and who we are all meant to be of course they're equal just you and I we are equal to. And if we're not and you're better than me well cool congratulations because I could care less except for how I treat people

Men and women will never be "the same"... men will never have period so that's different. But we all should have equality of opportunity and freedom. Equal but different.

Men and women should be equal, but not the same. Let me explain.

By "equal", I mean that neither men nor women should be considered "less human" than the other sex, in the sense that their personal rights and dignity should be protected to the same extent.

By "not the same", I want to highlight a fundamental difference between men and women stemming from basic anatomy and biochemistry and having a significant impact on the average male and average female worldviews. As I mentioned in another opinion of mine, one of the core values for women is security, as that's what's simply necessary in order to bear and bring up children without incidents. On the other hand, one of the core values for men is freedom, as that's what they need to effectively provide for and defend the women. Thus, if women obstruct regular men's freedom too much, just like in "modern" Western societies, they become defenseless against the highly exclusive group of "men in power" instead, as these individuals gain more freedom to dictate the so-called "societal norms". If women can't provide the women with security... Let's just say we don't really know much about such cases, as most of such cultures have been wiped out without a trace.

Men and women are not, can not nor will they ever be equal. We each have our strengths and weaknesses. And those compliment each other. A woman's strengths fill in where a mans weaknesses are and vice versa. One of the best ways to describe the 2 is this. Women more often than not inhabit the emotional world and struggle with the physical world. Men more often than not inhabit the physical world and struggle with the emotional world. When you combine the 2 you have 1 world that consists of emotion and physicality and is healthy as a result.

To me, this is like asking "chickens and frogs be the same". It's just not biologically possible. There are biological differences which used to be published by researchers but now due to political reasons, never get published anymore. Now you have insane fiction being published as science where they claim women were better hunters then men in ancient times, despite the fact that today, not a single female athlete at the top of her sport is going to top a male athlete at the top of his game. Not only that but even random high school boys teams have beaten pro adult female teams in exhibitions... while laughing about it. But some people want to believe fiction. it comforts them.

There are obvious differences between men and women that no one can deny such as and im not just talking about what is i between our legs, men being physically and mentally stronger then women, and women having periods, menopause and giving birth.

But when it comes to things like access to services and jobs we should have equality, to a degree. It is important that there are certain health requirements that women need and some that men need. Men can obviously do physical jobs better then women of course.

Equality works both ways as well, women should not get preferential treatment when ti comes to the justice system, social security or anything else which is what is happening now.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

In a relationship, the way I see it is you both have strengths and weaknesses. Therefore if you play according to those strengths you compliment each other as opposed to fighting each other.

She is better at some things than me, and I am far more suited to others. There is no battle for equality because like I said, we are on the same team working WITH each other, not against.

HawkPerception · Answer

We will never be equal in any way. We're physically different in every way and our brains are wired differently and have different chemical balances. Mental illness is sweeping western society with this equality nonsense. Women trying to be equal with men in sports, and getting the same pay nowadays yet demanding the man pays the bill and does most of the providing. It's madness.

AviatorTom · Answer

When women grow penises and men grow breasts, then we can all be equal.

Mother Nature built us differently, and there are good reasons for that. Men and women are not equal, never have been, never will be.

Now, men and women can have equal opportunities, but that's not the same as being equal.

DextroShade · Answer

Men are inherently superior to women in almost every way, so we are not equals. As women are ruled by their volatile emotions, their vote should not be worth as much as a man's vote. They should still be allowed to work but it shouldn't be encouraged. Human society can only ever function long-term as a patriarchy.

dragoblack · Answer

It's not about equality, it's about equity. But jobs & society should treat people as people regardless of sex or gender.

For some reason, society has this stick up it's a$$ that were need to have Verses arguments about the most frivolous things and fight about it, sadly comparing sexes and gender are a couple of them "they are different, therefore we must argue superiority" so fucl<! ing dumb!

curiousmandy · Answer

We should all have equal opportunity and equal rights but we are not the same, no matter how much the woke culture would like us to believe we are.

RavVid · Answer

Do you expect two random women to be equal or two random men to be equal?

I think most would expect to find one, in these parings, to be more equal than the other.

So why would you expect a random man & woman to be equal?

Issue is how much people get stuck on these thoughts. We're all equal in our rights (or should be if a country doesn't allow that), all have similar needs, and want to be happy.

That’s not what anyone is saying. Equal opportunities. Not the same outcomes. 80 cents on the dollar isn’t equal opportunity when women are 51% of the world.
